I'll have a look to see if I can see the pin this weekend. My boats only about ten minutes away so I may have some luck. I was going to PM you with my contact details as I'd love to chat about your boat but apparently I haven't submitted enough posts yet.

Wally,

here are the pics. It was quite difficult to get these shots but hopefully you can make out the lead ingots placed along the inside of the hull on either side of the swing keel housing.

Hi Wally,

I'll try to get some pics of the ballast etc and I can either email them or post them here.

I had a look at the pics of Tara, nice! How did you mount your solar panel on the railing? I'm interested in doing something similar.

Cheers

Re: Hutton 24

Hello Wall,

I have also just got one of these in fairly original condition. The water ballast is definitely a modification as the ballast was initially provided by the weight in the swinging keel and lead ingots placed in the hull.

Specifications for this boat can be found at hutton24.keptsafe.com

Re: Hutton 24

No problem.

Mine was a great boat, but water ballast etc seems like a modification that is quite a bit dffierent from what my boat was.

Best of luck!

Re: Hutton 24

Are you in Oz???

My first boat was a Hutton 24. They are based on a dufour 24 hull, and are good boats, but to your specific questions i'm not entirely sure in terms of specific ballast figures.
